From CNN : Clinton's Democratic Senate support not as solid But while conventional wisdom holds that there aren't enough votes in the Senate to convict Clinton, the outcome is far from certain because he may not be able to count on unified partisan support from Democrats, as he did in the House. From the start of the Lewinsky controversy, some of the president's most vocal critics in his party have been Democratic senators, including Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, Diane Feinstein of California and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska. However, there are also moderate Republicans in the Senate who frequently cross party lines, including Jim Jeffords of Vermont, John Chafee of Rhode Island and Maine's two GOP senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. It will be just wonderful if the President is acquitted in the Senate by a truly bi-partisan vote. That would stand in stark contrast with the grossly partisan crowd that voted for impeachment in the House.
